WELCOME

About Me

I am an empty nester who decided to take up genealogy to keep me from interfering in my young adult children's lives. (You're Welcome, Kirsten and Travis) I have been a Home Economics teacher and Nutrition Educator, but my greatest job is being a mother. My husband, Kirk, and I live in Battle Creek, Michigan with a few dust bunnies and lots of genealogy files and cookbooks!
